[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Energy Plus for urban energy plannig

["AlessandroM" <alexmac_00@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Oscar,
I was just thinking how to analyze energy buildings fluxes in future low-energy neighborhood & cities and I was wondering if energy plus could answer to this question. I mean, if I want to simulate a huge area with 100 buildings and some renewable energy power stations (wind farms, photovoltaic, CPH plants etc..), would it be possible work with energy plus? 

ps: it was just a thought, maybe too futuristic...

There are many parameters that e+ doesn't take in count (heat island, wind corridors,etc) but maybe to study the solar influence from others buildings, e+ could be a solution. I don"t know what do you want to do?
